Having started down the route of the runners as a metaphor for the Forum and having questioned whether the end of the Forum was the end or just the beginning, this photo seems appropriate!
Are we in it for the distance?
As I have said in previous posts, PRSI put an investment into the Forum because we believed that ithis would be the kind of meeting that could catalyse activities. There is anecdotal evince that our instinct is being proven correct, but wed be really grateful if people could post some comments logging any initiatives, or conversations or any other activities however, tentative. Evidence of this appearing may encourage more ‘green shoots’ (a prompt for a future blog picture, perhaps!).
For example we understand from Daniela Tilbury the Director of Sustainability here are Gloucestershire that there are a umber of Forum participants who will be meeting inforally at a conference in Plymouth over the summer. If you are going can you post some details in a comment? Is this the All Our Futures conference in September?
Any others?
